A Whole Lot of Petty
Thieving Going On
A number of minor robberies
tmvii been cuhimitted during the
week. On I'Vidny night P.olknnp's
confectionery was robbed of eight
or nine dollars, which amount wits
taken from the cash register. The
robbers of which there seems to be
two or more, entered tho room
through a window which wan pried
up with an ax, uml took the entire
contents of tho register hut a check
which seemed to lio redded as un
safe, Soniu ISO pennies were taken
with other coins, uml some time
Monday while there was no (die In
the bulldintr, the thief who seems to
he it hj ky sort of a cuss, returned
aid placed the M-nnies back In the
noisier, in a dilTerent location from
where they were at first- On the
second visit there were some $12 or
115 in the cash register but none of
that was taken. On the night of
the first visit, llfty or sixty dollars
were left in the back room, and
lielknap and his wife who live in the
building hapiH-ned 10 be spending
the night with friends.
Tuesday night the Itrosius saloon
was broken into and a dozen or
more bottles of beer taken. There
were some pennies in the register
but these were Ignored.
The same night the Hall & Daven
port meat market was relieved of
ull the cash in tho register which
was less than 2 in small change
Mrs. Wright's confectionery store
was also rifled during tho night
and some candy and other things of
no great value taken.
The robberies have been com
mitted between midnight and morn
ing at which time there is no
nightwatch and the marauders have
things to themselves. The authori
ties have a pretty good idea who
the offenders are and arrests are ex
pectcd at any time.

The Brown Murder I
Trial at The Dalles
A Irngeliii nine was witnest
in Judi JSnhImImw' court in Tim
Italics Tuesday forenoon when
lohert Tuttis, who murdered.
Ralph lirown on New Yeui's Day,
was brought into court, a uis
patch to the Oregnnlan from The
Dalles contained the following:
Mrs. lirown, accompanied by
Willis W. lirown, her father-in-
law, went to the courtroom know
ing 1'iiUis was to appear siid plead.
It was Naary to take Petti
Irom ihn courtroom before Mrs,
lirown could be quieted by her
... ... . i .
relative and court oiiicniis. n
was the first time Mrs. lirown had
seen the man since l lie inuruer
which is charged to him.
After Pettis had been returned
to the courtroom Mrs. lirown sat
with every muscle tense. She had
to be held in the seat. Apparently,
h wanted to 11 v at the throat of
Pettis.
When Jud(?e liradnhaw acted
Pettis to plead to the charge of
deconii uegreu niuruer, lie moon
up and answered:
' Not guilty."
"What!" cried Mrs. lirown, as
she tried to tear herself from the
restraining arms of her father-in-
aw. Mr. lirown then carried the
excited woman Irom the court
room. She was on the verge of
i crvous prostration. The intense
feeling of Mrs. lirown visibly af
fected manv in the courtroom
The murdered man was a proini
uent rancher of Kaskela, Or.,
where he also was postmaster.
lie was well known in this sec
tiou. He was 3H years old, and a
graduate of tho University of Ore
gon. His wife was Mss Edith
Percivsl, a graduate of the Mon
mouth Normal School.
Pettis, who is 19 year oid,
worked on the lirown ranch. He
is believed to have been crazed by
drink when, it is alleged, he shot
his employer to death. It is
thought that Insanity will he the
plea of the defence.

Pioneer Creamery
Soon Start Up Again
, A telegram from Portland today
announces the fact that the Pioneer
Creamery of this place, which went
nto the hands of a receiver was
sold to the highest bidder today.
L. II. Ijifollette bid the property in
and says that he will be ready to
o?n the place for business again
In a few days, perhaps by the first
of next month.
Tho claims against the Pioneer
('ream Company will be adjusted
by the receiver, A new brand will
be placed on the butter and ice
cream. Tho present location will
be renovated and put into a sani
tary condition before the place is
opened for business.
This is welcome news to the
cream producers of this locality
who have shipped cream at the
rate of several hundred cans per
month to various outside points, all
of which have proven less satisfac
tory than a local creamery run on
strictly business lines would be.

the effect that the term of office
for judges who were elected two
years ago, as was Judge Springer

Springer's term end on December
31, 191C,
Post Postings
Plenty of mud theee times, but
that is what the country needs.
The rabid coyotes are the lead
ing question in this vicinity at
present. Most of the people have
awakened to the fact that it is
dangerous to go unarmed. Every
one should carry a good gun, not
merely for self protection, but so
as to be prepared to kill every
coyote that is seen, if possible.

C. C. H. S. Notes.
1 wish to state to the public that
niy talk hint Friday evening was not
given In connection with the High
School program. LKO GUAM.
The Musket. Pull Karnes Saturday
and Monday were very interesting,
even though Corvallis won. The
first game was more exciting and
was more of an even game. The
score was 21 to 28 in favor of Cor
vallis High.
The second game was not so close.
The last half of the game was very
fast and the visiting team were
forced to keep on the move. The
final score stood 23 to 49, again in
favor of Corvallis High,
Altho we were sorry to lose the
games we feel it takes a great deal
more courage to take a defeat
graciously than it does to win a vic
tory. The Corvallis boys won the
respect of all the people here. It
is the first time a team of that kind
has come here without a coach and
they proved that one was not
needed. They were very appreci
ative of the kindness shown them
while here by the Crook County
High School team, students and
patrons. We hope they come again
next year-
After the game Monday night a
reception was given at the high
school under the direction of the
Basket Pall team. The Corvallis
and Lamonta teams were invited
A short program was rendered and
owing to the late hour refresh
mcnts were served.
'I he annual declamation contest
will be held February 11th and 12th ;
at th high school. There are
about eighteen participants in the
tryout. Everybody is invited. No
admission will be charged. The
program commences at 7:30 p. m.
Mrs. Stella Sears was a Monday
morning visitor in Senior classes.
The program given by the glee
clubs Friday night at the Lyric was
well patronized. $26.30 wa3 real
ized. There were three vocal duets.
The Boys' Glee Club gave three se
lections "Come Where My Love
Lies Dreaming," "Aloha Oe." and
"A Little Peach."
The Girls' Glee Club gave three
selections "Trip Along," "Loch
Lommond" and " My Wild Irish
Rose."
As a closing number of the pro
gram the two glee clubs rendered
"Anchored."
The Seniors are selecting class
rings, invitations and programs for
commencement and are discussing
graduation.
Awake! Arise!" seems to be the
popular High School song. As a
joke on the girls the boys sang i; as
an encore. To be even with the
boys the girls sang it again Monday
night at the reception and immedi
ately the boys proceeded to whistle
it.
The Bovs' Glee Club had charge
of the assembly period Monday
morning. Mr. Nichols of Corvallis
gave a short talk which was much
appreciated bv the student body
